Born in Cavan in 1932, she moved to London in 1949/50, She had 2 brothers, 1 named James, 1 was in the Army the other was about to go in the Army in 1952 they were living in London. I believe she had a married sister, also she worked in a Lyons corner house, also as a maid. Would love to hear from anyone with any info. Thanks

Her birth was registered in 1932 as Teresa?

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F1QR-MYF

The other births with the same mother were

John 1930
James 1931
Josephine 1957

That last seems rather unlikely, but the mother's name is the same; there may likely have been another couple with the same surnames.


This could be the marriage of their parents

Name: Ellen McEntee
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun, 1930
Registration district: Cavan, Ireland
Volume: 3
Page Number: 61
FHL Film Number: 101576

one of the grooms listed is Patrick Farrelly.

Thank you very much for the information. I am going to see if I can obtain a birth certificate,

You're welcome, and by the way, I went off on a very enjoyable tangent looking at websites about Lyons Corner Houses, and sent some of them to my mum to enjoy as well!

If you can say more exactly what you are looking for -- for instance, whether Mary/Teresa married? -- we might be able to help more. :-)

A birth certificate with her exact date of birth would help for searching to see whether a death has been registered for her up to 2007 (can search with given names + DOB without a surname).

If you do get the birth certificate, let us know but without posting the exact info here, for privacy in case she is living.

I have her exact date of birth but don't know if she married. Once again thank you.

Margaret, if you don't have access to Ancestry's deaths index, you could send me that date of birth privately if you like (click on my name) and I could try searching for a death that might match, and see whether there might be a marriage to match if the surname doesn't.
